First off, we need to fix singular/plural issue: "the market" is singular and hence requires "is" -> Rule out A, B and D.
Secondly, since the statement is talking about "feature articles and opinion essays", in general written by any writer, blogger or individual user, we have to use plural form which rules out C as well as it uses singular forms "a professional writer, a blogger..."
E, the triumphant one.
